When NC Congressman Madison Cawthorn was embroiled in one controversy after another, most of his Republican colleagues rolled their eyes but did nothing. Then Cawthorn was caught on tape accusing them of engaging in drug fueled orgies, and his support evaporated, he drew a primary challenge from the Republican establishment, and he was defeated.

George Santos seems to be doing something similar, but he appears ready to take down some of his colleagues openly after they have already abandoned him.

Shortly after the House Ethics Committee issued a scathing report detailing his crimes, fraud and deception, several Members of his caucus announced their intention to change their previous votes and support a motion to expel Santos from Congress when the session resumes. It appears that the votes are very close to the two-thirds necessary for expulsion, with many observers predicting that he is toast.

Santos started off my ripping the House majority for getting nothing accomplished in 2023: "We have spent the bulk of our time figuring out who we are as a Republican conference while stalling progress for three weeks ... We have passed 21 pieces of legislation - none really consequential. We have spent so much time censuring one another, expelling one another, going after one another. We're doing absolutely nothing. It's like a dog chasing its tail. It's abysmal."
